1983 Olds 98 Regency:
That is the car on the surveillance cam. 1983 Oldsmobile 98 Regency (I think it's a Regency Brougham, which I think had a bigger vinyl top), give or take a couple years. Take it to the bank.
Here are the reasons that's the car:
1. Location of side spear that extends back from front wheel well.
2. Correct size.
3. Correct roofline.
4. Correct slanted taillights.
5. Correct straight up and down front of front fender, when viewed 3/4 from the rear.
6. Beveled angle to the back of the trunk lid -accounts for the strange reflection off the back of trunk. (Realized this late last night)
7. Correct shape of wheel well openings. Note - it appears the right-rear wheel well opening has been damaged on the car in question
8. The smoking gun: The small, horizontal rear side-marker light at exactly the correct level, as seen in the second, blurry car camera photo.
That is definitely the car we're looking for. And it's very rare! And I've seen one around town very occasionally for a few years. I'm pretty sure it's GREEN.
The one I saw had a younger black male driver - maybe age 25-35.
Look at two more photos linked here:

I'm going to redo my flyers.
The car is not, repeat NOT A CADILLAC.
And everyone in town thinks it is, and when I called the tip line last night the lady said she and the people there had been thinking Cadillac, as well.
